88 - What If

4.5

TOP ligue 1 offensive midfielder

By FifaMaster95, 01-03-2021

Hi everyone, first review here !

I'm not native speaker, sorry in advance for my english.

Didn't had the opportunity to use him in fut champions but i already played more than 10 games with this card at rivals (div 1). I use him as CM in a classic 4-2-2 next to Kante. Kante stays back when attacking while Lees-Melou is set on "move forward" instruction.

The main attributes of this card are PASSING and POSITIONING. He is doing wonders. Passes are fast and clean. He managed to pull of some excellent assists using trajectories that are almost impossible to defend. Without the ball, you always find him in passing range ( Never tired, this player don't stop from moving until the end of the game).

The 4* 4* is really helping.

SHOOTING: Long shots can be really impressive (scored 2 outside the box in 10 games) and his finishing inside the box is more than great for a midfielder. Heading isn't good (nice height but he don't score).

DRIBBLING: Really helpful. He doesn't feel clunky at all. Dribbling and 4* skills can be really helpful to avoid the pressing and to a clean pass.

Most reviews on this player talk about his interception and defending skills. Shadow is the most used chemstyle too. I personally think this card isn't made to be a defensive CM or CDM. Even if he's tall, the player don't have enough balance and there's no chemstyle to help to fix this without having a drowback on other defense skills. Interceptions are as clean a gold Kante which is less expensive.

If you're thinking about opting for Lees-Melou, you want to have fun or don't have a lot of coin and seek for a good budget team. It's not really a good choice for CDM in both situations.

This is why i recommend him in offensive CM/CAM position. Engine or Catalyst (only if you like speed) are good choices.

But even with engine you sometimes feel the lack of balance. When pressed by the opponent, he sometimes falls after doing a pass or makes mistakes (very bad shoot/pass). But when you know it, you use his good dribbling to avoid these situations.

I really have fun playing with this card on my secondary account. For around 100K with a +2 coming ( I don't even know how a team can't score 6 goals in 5 games in modern football :) ), it's really a good card. I think there's no Ligue 1 midfielder on the market who give theses results for that price (Renato is more expensive and Guimares was a SBC)

TOP CM IN LIGUE 1

Hi everyone, this is my first reviewI bought Lees-Melou to play him in CM in a 4141 in a middle made up of Bruno Fernandes 92 who is more offensive and Bruno Guimares 87 positioned lower as recuperator.I played 10 matches in Futchamps to try it out (Gold 1 level)He's fantastic, he's recovering very well, has a great pass, good speed and good positioning.

Kante but with passing

I was fortunate to get him in my 81 player pick pack. He sort of fit straight into my team and i use him as a CDM in a 4-2-3-1 with Kante. in short i feel he is better than Kante, slap a shadow on and his stats are so perfect for a CM/CDM and what sets him apart from Kante is his passing and dribbling and size to win headers. He's not spectacular in terms of what he does, but very solid...

The Midfield king (shadow)

Hi guys this is my first review and my english is not that good so i apologize. I'm a gold 2 player.I packed this guy untreadable and for fun i tried him instead of valverde if, paired him with Duncan. He is tall and in the midfield with that long legs can really help with tackles and interceptions the other more defending midfielder. But i was reaaly impressed by his progressions with the ball, the acc...
